Ms. Zen, When I arrived back to Charlotte Country Day School in October, I knew little about anything, much less passive voice and 9th grade English rules. My very first piece, “If You Give a Suitor a Cookie”, was an analytical 8-point paper about The Odyssey, and it was quite literally the worst paper I have ever written.

Alice Walker the Woman and Jesus Name: Class: English 125 Date: October 1, 2012 Instructor: Alice Walker wrote a story about an old black woman whom wanted to attend church but was not able to be permitted to attend.
